HIPAA Compliant Solutions
HIPAA Considerations and Secure Partnerships
In today’s healthcare marketing landscape, privacy and security remain paramount, yet the implications of revised HIPAA guidelines on analytics strategies may not be fully realized by all organizations. In late 2022, the HHS, the governing body for HIPAA regulations, unveiled updated advice highlighting the importance of safeguarding personally identifiable health information from common tracking technologies, including Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. While healthcare entities are generally conversant with HIPAA’s impact on their daily operations, the nuances of these new directives in the context of marketing efforts often go unheeded by both large and small organizations. This recent clarification calls for a thorough evaluation of how integral tools like Google Analytics are incorporated into marketing strategies.
In the healthcare sector, earning patients’ trust and maintaining a secure environment for their health data is paramount. However, the significance of robust security measures in marketing practices is often underestimated by many. At PatientX, we prioritize HIPAA considerations to give you options to bolster your security in your marketing endeavors.
